New Directions for Clarinet (New Instrumentation, Vol 4)

Phillip Rehfeldt has assembled techniques of dealing with clarinet performance as they have evolved since 1950. He catalogs contemporary practices that differ from those formerly standardized, provides perspectives on performance capabilities, and includes suggestions for performance based on his own experience. The new edition has been completely rewritten, corrected where necessary, and updated. Rehfeldt has added the complete list of William O. Smith's clarinet compositions and recordings to his previous listing of Smith's early multiphonic fingerings. The new edition also includes an appendix containing Eric Mandat's quarter-tone fingerings; a second music bibliography, the "International Update"; and an updated bibliography of music literature.
